The Highly Sensitive Person:
How To Thrive When The World Overwhelms You

by Elaine N. Aron, Ph.D.

“I have just finished The Highly Sensitive Person and I can’t thank you enough for writing such a wonderful book – you put into clear, understandable words what I have always known about myself…. Your book was the first that I have ever read that not only validated the traits of highly sensitive individuals but cast them as necessary for our society.”– M.C., Rockaway, NJ

“First, let me express my deep gratitude to you if I can. I have just finished reading your book…. You have truly given me hope for a new life at the age of 52. I hardly know how to express the comfort and joy I have received from you.”– J.M., New York, NY

“I cannot thank you enough for the inner peace your book has given me!”– S.P., Sacramento, CA

“I am writing to express my gratitude to Elaine Aron for her book, The Highly Sensitive Person. I laughed and cried, I felt known. I felt affirmed. It is not only ‘OK’ to be highly sensitive, it is a gift. Thank you.”– L.H., Findlay, OH

“I can’t remember the last time I sat down and read a book from cover to cover in one day. It has really made me feel like a part of a larger group, and not quite so weird after all… I am looking forward to reading this book again.”– K.J., San Francisco, CA

“I find Dr. Aron’s book immensely valuable.”– L.J.W., Provo, UT

“I have been trying to find out who I am and what I can do. Many of the situations described in the book I find fit my situation…. I wish I could send [it to] everyone I know and have known.”– C.M., Riverside, CA

“Elaine Aron’s book, The Highly Sensitive Person, is the first ever to really speak to me!”– M.J., Houston, TX

“The feeling I had when reading this book was one of profound catharsis and a newfound appreciation and recognition of how this trait has played a role in my life. For this alone, the book played a tremendous role in expanding my view of myself and helping me to understand how I fit in with the world.”– K.L., Seattle, WA, in New Times
